[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following because these struggles are familiar. Highschooler diagnosed with adhd but we think is more asd or combo/ overlap. Which test is better to confirm? I have been calling numerous places to get on the year plus waiting list and was initially requesting a neuropsych evaluation but on one of the more recent calls, the scheduler said I needed a specific autism test. Is this true. Do I need to call back and get on different waitlists now?? Trying to resove mostly because I worry we will need to request a single room in college due to anxiety and rigidity. not sure what to do??[/quote] What are you talking about??? There is the ADOS for autism, and that is about it. Everything else is incredibly subjective and skewed by the prejudices of the evaluator. And given your concerns, why do you think getting an ASD label is going to help your kid thru college? Calling it ASD won't make your child's anxiety or rigidity go away.[/quote]
